Leave the kids at home, because the original members of the Wiggles are touring the country in 2022 to perform a series of 18+ reunion concerts for nostalgic adults wanting to relive some favourite childhood singalongs.
The original members Anthony Field, Murray Cook, Jeff Fatt and Greg Page hitting stages in Darwin, Hobart, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney and Brisbane from February to April 2022.
The shows coincide with the current Wiggles lineup touring their Fruit Salad TV Big Show for kids at the same time.
The OG Wiggles Reunion shows will feature some of The Wiggles’ best-loved songs and cameos from characters such as Captain Feathersword, Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog, and Henry the Octopus.
The guys will be supported by some of the country’s very best bands too, with a "wild support act" promised at each concert.
Jeff Fatt, OG Purple Wiggle, said, “All of those children who loved The Wiggles in the 90s are now adults who love the nostalgia and fun from that time in their lives. This night is for the grown-ups and is a chance to bring back some of that genuine, high-spirited liveliness again.”
Greg Page, OG Yellow Wiggle, said: “Looking forward to getting back on stage with the OG Wiggles - we always have a great time together, and can’t wait to see the “kids” reliving their childhood." He joked he "may have to pull back a bit on the dancing this time around though!” referencing the heart attack he suffered during their Bushfire Relief concert last January.
That concert sold out in 5 minutes, so be quick with your tickets for this tour, which go on sale on Friday 22nd October at 4pm local time, with Hobart and Melbourne on sale from 6pm.
Tour dates:
Darwin: 12 February 2022
Hobart: 19 February 2022
Melbourne: 12 March 2022
Perth: 9 April 2022
Sydney: 23 April 2022

Thanks to streaming, we're only ever a click away from binge-watching TV shows, from new exciting series that we fall instantly in love with to old classics that we greet like an old friend again after missing them for years.
We're spoiled for choice and there's probably not enough time to see them all, so where do you start?
Maybe with this list from Flicks.com.au, who've surveyed 10,000 Aussies about their favourite TV shows of all time and created a ranking of the top 50.
Who would've thought a show about a teacher who cooks up drugs would prove such a massive hit, but of course the cult show Breaking Bad was about more than Walter White taking on the drug lords and totally deserves its number 1 spot.
For those who couldn't handle too much reality, Game of Thrones provided epic proportions of escapist fantasy and lands at number 2 in the ranking.
At number 3 spot is Friends followed by Seinfeld and The Sopranos rounding out the top 5.
The list is a mix of old and new, with still-running shows like The Simpsons, Doctor Who, Greys Anatomy and sadly soon-to-finish Brooklyn Nine-Nine making the top 25.
There's also some super oldies like M*A*S*H, Star Trek and Fawlty Towers, definitely classics, along with new shows like Stranger Things, Lucifer and Fleabag who hopefully stand the test of time when the ranking is no doubt done again in the future.
Wentworth was the only Aussie show to make the top 50.
Here are the top 25 shows
1. Breaking Bad
2. Game of Thrones
3. Friends
4. Seinfeld
5. The Sopranos
6. M*A*S*H
7. The Simpsons
8. The Wire
9. The Office
10. Big Bang Theory
11. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
12. Doctor Who
13. The West Wing
14. The X Files
15. Twin Peaks
16. Star Trek
17. Brooklyn Nine-Nine
18. Dexter
19. Schitt’s Creek
20. Mad Men
21. The Walking Dead
22. Supernatural
23. The Handmaid’s Tale

Ryan Reynolds has dropped a bombshell on his socials, declaring he plans to take a 'sabbatical' from making movies once his current project is complete.
The Canadian actor just finished filming Spirited, a musical based on the Charles Dickens' novel A Christmas Carol. Reynolds plays the part of Ebeneezer Scrooge alongside Will Ferrell and Octavia Spencer.
Posting to his Instagram, Ryan Reynolds revealed the news that he'd be taking this pause in schedule as an opportunity to step back from the film industry.
"That’s a wrap for me on Spirited. Not sure I’d have been ready to say yes to a film this challenging even three years ago," he wrote.
"Singing, dancing and playing in the sandbox with Will Ferrell made a whole lotta dreams come true," he continued. "And this is my second film with the great Octavia Spencer."
"Perfect time for a little sabbatical from movie making. I’m gonna miss every second working with this obscenely gifted group of creators and artists."
"These days, kindness matters as much as talent. I’ve been lucky to work with folks who are flush with both."
Reynolds' wife - and successful actor in her own right - Blake Lively couldn't help but poke fun at her husband on the heartfelt post. "Michael Caine did it first,” she commented, referencing the recent announcement that the 88-year-old actor is retiring.
His Spirited co-star Octavia Spencer also weighed in, praising the 44 year old creative, "You’re an amazing actor/singer and producer. I had a blast working with you, Will, and this outstanding cast and crew! Enjoy your downtime."
Ryan Reynolds is famous for his roles as Deadpool, Green Lantern and more recently Free Guy. He has also received recognition for his roles in the aforementioned productions including an MTV Movie Award nomination for Best Fight (shared with Ed Skrein & Gina Carano), along with award nominations at other events such as the Teen Choice Awards.
Reynolds was born in Vancouver, Canada. At 15 years old he decided to pursue a career as an actor and during that time made appearances on both television and film productions including the TV series Fifteen (1996), Are You Afraid of the Dark? (1990), the TV movie Sabrina the Teenage Witch (1996).
He later made a mark on the rom-com genre, playing the lead in Just Friends alongside Anna Faris (2005), Definitely, Maybe with Isla Fisher and Elizabeth Banks (2008) and The Proposal with Sandra Bullock (2009).
Fingers crossed this sabbatical isn't too long, we love us some Ryan Reynolds!
